Award:Star of Honor

This award is given to the Marine NCO who most exemplifies the personal and professional standards of leadership valued by the SFMC NCO Corps. This Marine NCO has made a significant personal impact in community service efforts throughout their area, and through their actions and words, have provided the highest standard of guidance and leadership to their fellow Marines, setting a standard of excellence for other NCOs to follow. Normally, the General Staff selects the top three candidates for this award from among the Star of Valor recipients in the various brigades and passes those names on to the SGM/ SFMC for his selection of the final recipient.

To make this award the Star of Honor, a gold star adorns the ribbon.
